Rollie Braxton & Samuel Kidd
Rollie (b.4/3/1894 d.11/1973)is my great grandfather.He married Etta Mae Blackledge (b.10/18/1893 d.9/1980) but I don't know when.Samuel (b.11/13/1892 d.3/1968) is his brother.He owned a poolhall in Americus, GA.The children of Rollie & Etta are Katie Maude Wallace (d.1/13/1996), Roberta (died @ 12 from cotton field fire), Rollie Braxton, Jr. (b.6/6/1925 d.6/1986), Samuel Arthur (b.4/30/1914 d.12/31/1996), Caroline (living), Betty, Maxine (Mackie), Barbara, Hazel Ruth (b.4/4/1920 d.11/1992, grandmother).Hazel married William Marion Carver and thus I came to be.I think the family had beginnings in Sumter County, GA, but the endings are in Beaufort, NC.My grandmother is gone and no one remembers anything else.I hope I haven't waited too long to find out my roots.There is the family legend we are descended from Capt. Kidd the pirate, but I want to prove or disprove.Supposed family land in Scotland that still exists.Not looking for any riches, just looking for family.If anyone can help, please do!!!My thanks would be eternal.-Jessi
